Commonalities between Saskatchewan education's principles and guidelines for Indian and Métis education and a conceptual framework of global education
(Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, University of Regina, 1993-07) Pauline G. Barton; Krentz, Caroline; Newton, John; Douad, Patrick
The purpose of this comparative descriptive study was to identify the most significant commonalities of two educational initiatives, Saskatchewan Education's principles and guidelines for Indian and Metis education and the International Institute for Global Education's conceptual framework of global education. The study then discussed educational implications of these significant commonalities. This study of the commonalities between educational initiatives empowers teachers to see these initiatives as interdependent with child-centred learning as the goal of each. The inquiry identified community as the most significant commonality between these two educational initiatives. The study showed that the focus on community has the potential to ensure meaningful and relevant education for all learners by contributing to the elimination of systemic racism and empowering minority groups, teachers, and students. A conceptual framework which indicated the educationally significant commonalities between these two initiatives also was a result of the study. A discussion of educational changes which might be possible with the application of the conceptual framework is also provided. The study identified suggestions to facilitate the application of the conceptual framework.

Equity in scientific publishing requires removing financial barriers, structural transformation, and inclusive practices that empower researchers from historically marginalized regions. Here, we reflect on recent Wiley's initiatives supporting Brazilian researchers to integrate into the international publishing ecosystem, including discounted rates for open-access article processing charges, the Wiley- CAPES transformative agreement, and in-country capacity-building events. While some challenges persist, such as linguistic barriers and funding access, we underscore the importance of meaningful local engagement and the coordinated actions among publishers and funding agencies that are supporting a more equitable publishing ecosystem.

Application of interactive threat matrix induced system dynamics model to determine risk probability and resilient policy measures for CO2 pipelines
(Elsevier BV, 2026-05) Rafew, S. M.; Kabir, Golam
In the sphere of decarbonization, a comprehensive CO2 (Carbon dioxide) pipeline risk analysis framework is crucial for resilient long-term operations. Canadian Standards Association (CSA) updated regulations Z662:23 requires operators and regulatory bodies to develop quantitative risk assessment methodologies with probability and consequence analysis. Thus, this study is aimed at determining risk probability of CO2 pipelines across Canada, while developing a simulation tool for consecutive policy analysis. The process involves integration of threat matrix from real gas pipeline incident dataset, long-short term memory (LSTM) model and system dynamics (SD) simulation. Baseline simulation represents a risk probability value of 5.89 with a synthetic integrity of 55.1 % by 2055. Sensitivity analysis, calibration, scenario analysis and structural validity have been performed to check the numerical boundary adequacy, accuracy and variability of the built SD model. Among two policies simulated, Policy 2 has been found to be more resilient, as it restrained the risk probability to a value of 2.54 with an increased 77.4 % pipeline integrity. The developed methodology is a simplified risk probability analysis tool for CO₂ pipelines, with extensible features to incorporate further consequences and economic analysis.
